amused when be told me that man had
put his hand over his mouth and nearly
smothered him, but he added, with great
seeming satisfaction: Il bit his finger
terribly, and gave the rascal mark he
will carry TO his grave" However, he
had not bitten as severely as he supposed,
~ had received only a slight scratch
that healed In a week or two. I had
always been rather favorite with him,
and he had no suspicion that I was the
guilty person, r. his fright had prevented
him from observing anything closely.
lie spoke In strong complaint Of the in
gratitude of our companions, saying that
be had been kind to them, and this was
the return he got for it. While We re-
manned with him he watched more closely,
though he supposed he was fiattering us
by saying that he had no doubt the men
who had gone of were much worse than
We.
Some time In the forenoon several
officers came TO see rs In no mild humer,
and one roughly demanded the course our
boys intended to travel. had no deli
cacy whatever about giving the iDforma-
ton; even took a good deal Of pleasure
in telling him that they had said that
Atlanta WA In the middle Of what was
left Of the Confederacy, and that they
were going TO travel toward the outsidel
The officer was 30 well satisfied with this
information that he asked no more ques-
tons.
But It was a herculean task upon which
ou- brave boys had entered, and my state
nient to the marshal was literally correct,
though IL could be OF little use to him. I
cannot look back upon what they did
without thinking that In dangers en-
countered ard obstacles overcome. the
proudest exploits Of Livingstone or Stanley
were not superior.
A whole volume would be required for

The different narratives have been fur

laying 1t before their readers. These
different accounts have been carefully

What Am I To Do?

The symptoms of Bilousness are unhappi-
ly but too well known. They differ in
different individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of order
and DiarrhGa or Constipation may be symp-
tom or the two may alternate. There are
often Hemorrhods or even loss of blood.
There may be giddness and often headache
acidity or hatuence and tenderness in the pi,
of the stomach. To correct all this if moi
effect cure try Green's August Flower, il
costs but trife and thousands attest its eff
cacy.
